Our client, the appellant, born in Tripoli, Libya, asserts his claim for refugee status primarily on grounds of past persecution and the potential for renewed persecution if returned to Libya. He identifies as Muslim and previously served at a high-ranking role in the army. His father has passed away, and his mother resides in Tripoli, along with his brother and sister.

The appellant recounts an incident in February 2017 when he was kidnapped and tortured after delivering a speech containing political references. He narrowly escaped, fearing he would have been killed otherwise. The kidnappers accused him of loyalty to Gaddafi, linking his speech to support for the former regime. He managed to flee the extremist camp and seek medical attention, eventually leaving Libya via Tunisia and arriving in Malta, where he applied for international protection.

The agency acknowledges the appellant’s military background but argues that he does not fit the high-risk profile for persecution based on loyalty to Gaddafi during the conflict. They contend that speaking favourably of Gaddafi does not automatically warrant international protection.

However, the tribunal recognises the ongoing instability and violence in Libya, as evidenced by recent reports detailing clashes between armed groups, forced evictions, mass graves, and the presence of foreign military forces. Despite not meeting the criteria for refugee status, following our arguments and presentations, the tribunal finds credible grounds for subsidiary protection under Maltese law due to the real risk of serious harm if the appellant returns to Libya.

Therefore, the tribunal partially upholds the appeal by confirming the rejection of refugee status but granting subsidiary protection to our client. This decision is based on substantial evidence of ongoing threats and instability in Libya, which pose a genuine risk to the appellant’s safety and well-being.

This was another success story for our firm where our client was granted subsidiary protection. Sciberras Advocates can assist in appeals at the International Protection Appeals Tribunal, with the Immigration Appeals Board or written requests to Principal Immigration Officer to appeal, overturn bans and challenge removal orders.

Last evening, Dr Adrian Sciberras of Sciberras Advocates together with Dr Gianluca Cappitta of Mifsud & Mifsud Advocates, engaged in a constructive dialogue with Kusi Dismark and the Principal Immigration Officer along with his team. The meeting proceeded in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Following extensive deliberation, Kusi made the decision to voluntarily return to Ghana. This decision was reached after careful consideration and consultation with us, as his lawyers.

Kusi is currently on the way to his homeland, having willingly agreed to repatriation. Despite enduring a stateless status for over twelve years, Kusi will not face a ban thanks to the Ministry of Home Affairs’ intervention, which facilitated his repatriation. This incident highlights the numerous stateless individuals on our island, stressing the need for initiatives aimed at regularising their legal status.

While Kusi’s aspirations for Europe are momentarily paused, the silver lining lies in his imminent reunion with his mother, whom he has been separated from throughout his time away from Ghana. We remain committed to supporting him in his journey. Kusi is in good spirit and maintains an optimistic outlook for his future in Malta.

A severance contract, also known as a severance agreement or separation agreement, is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions under which an employee will leave the job. These agreements are typically used when an employee is terminated or laid off by the employer, although they can also be used in other situations, such as when an employee resigns.

The primary purpose of a severance contract is to protect the interests of both the employer and the departing employee. It typically includes various provisions that may cover the following:

Confidentiality Agreement: The agreement may include provisions to maintain the confidentiality of the company’s trade secrets and other sensitive information.

Severance Pay: The agreement may specify the amount of money or benefits the employee will receive upon separation. This could include salary continuation, a lump-sum payment, or other financial compensation.

Non-Disparagement Clause: This clause often prohibits both the employer and the departing employee from making negative or disparaging comments about each other.

Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses: These clauses may restrict the employee from working for a competitor or soliciting the employer’s clients or employees for a specified period after leaving the company.

Release of Claims: The employee typically agrees not to sue the employer for any claims related to their employment or termination in exchange for the severance package.

Return of Company Property: This clause states that the employee should return any company-owned materials, equipment, or documents.

Health Benefits and Insurance: Details regarding the continuation of health insurance or other benefits, if applicable.

References and Recommendations: The agreement may outline how the employer will respond to reference requests from prospective employers regarding the departing employee.

It’s important to note that the specific terms and conditions of a severance contract can vary widely and are negotiated between the employer and the departing employee. Legal advice is often recommended for both parties to ensure that the agreement complies with relevant laws and regulations and adequately protects their respective interests. In many cases, the employee is given a certain amount of time to review and consider the agreement before signing it, and they may have the option to consult with a lawyer.

Sciberras Advocates holds exceptional expertise in employment and labour law, including aspects such as drafting employment and severance contracts, the sale of businesses and its impact on employees’ future, cases of unfair dismissal, employment discrimination, workplace harassment, redundancy situations, employees’ rights for claims, and an array of other related issues.

Preliminare

Un ricorso contro una decisione di rigetto presa dalla Commissione d'Appello per l'Immigrazione nei confronti del nostro cliente, un cittadino nepalese.

Fatti

Our client arrived in Malta in October 2022, and was then held at the Malta International Airport on the 7th of October 2022 as he was about to travel to Portugal. That same day the Principal Immigration Officer issued against him a decision for his return and for his removal from Malta.

Our client had stated to the Principal Immigration Officer that he was on his way to he attends the Dashain Festival which is celebrated by the people of Nepal, and he was going to return to Malta a few days later. It turned out that our client had a visa valid for the purpose of work from July 2022 to November 2022 and our client had already attended an interview but had not yet stated working.

Merito

Sciberras Advocates appealed the decision before the Board in 2022 where we presented the submissions and also bail submission so that the appellant is to be released from detention.

La decisione impugnata

From evidence produced the Immigration Appeals Board decided that our client failed to convince this Board of his true intentions. Reasons given, that of travelling to Porto to participate in the Dashain festival does not tally and the single permit application had to be finalised first.

L'Appello

In April 2023, our firm presented an appeal on the decision to cancel the revoke the return decision and the entry ban issued by the Principal Immigration Officer in October. Our appeal consisted of various submissions, evidence produced and various legal considerations.

Sentenza della Corte d'Appello

La Corte d'Appello ha accolto il ricorso del nostro cliente e ha revocato la decisione originale del Board per il rimpatrio e l'espulsione da Malta, unitamente al divieto di reingresso emesso nello stesso giorno, in modo che il nostro cliente potesse presentare una nuova domanda di permesso di soggiorno a Malta.

Il giudizio finale può essere scaricato da qui: Malta Immigration Case 50 / 2023

This was another success story for our firm, winning an appeal for a third country national who was ready to start his new job in Malta.

The EU Blue Card is a work and residence permit for highly skilled non-EU/EEA nationals which allows one to work and live in 25 countries within the European Union. The European Blue Card provides rights and a path towards permanent residence in the EU.

In this article you can find the necessary information on the Blue Card and the eligibility criteria. Malta offers the Blue Card through Identità, together with other alternative employment permits for highly qualified workers such as the Key Employee Initiative (KEI) and the Specialist Employee Initiative (SEI). However, it is important to note that this type of permit is issued in accordance with the provisions of the relative EU directive and is distinct from a residence permit issued for highly qualified purposes under Maltese policies such as the KEI and SEI programmes.

An EU Blue Card gives highly qualified workers from outside the EU the right to live and work in an EU country, provided they have higher professional qualifications, such as a university degree, and an employment contract or a binding job offer for at least one year with a high salary compared to the average salary in Malta (1.5 x the average gross annual salary).

A third country national must be in possession of professional qualifications and have a work contract that covers at least a period of one year, together with travel documents and health insurance. The EU Blue Card does not apply to self-employed individuals.

Following the first renewal, one can apply for a residence permit for a validity period of two years if the Blue Card holder is in possession of a work contract for a period exceeding two years. During the first two years as a Blue Card holder, if there is a change in employment, one would be required to submit a new application, however after having been employed as a Blue Card holder for more than two years, if one changes employment, all that is required is to present the new work contract to Identità. If a Blue Card holder loses employment, one has three months to find a new job. Following these three months, the EU Blue Card will be withdrawn completely.

One of the advantages of the EU Blue Card is that it allows holders to move and work within other EU member states under certain conditions. EU Blue Card holders are generally allowed to bring their family members with them to the host country. And after a certain period of legal and continuous residence, EU Blue Card holders may be eligible to apply for permanent residency in the host country.

By virtue of LN 277 of 2023, last December Malta has introduced new tax rules applicable to Nomad Residence Permit holders.

Individuals who are issued with a residence permit after 1^st January 2024, will be subject to income tax at a rate of 10% on income derived from ‘authorised work’.  The new rules indicate the reporting obligations, being to register for income tax purposes, report the income received, file an annual income tax return, and pay tax as required.

However, Nomad Residence Permit in Malta are still able to benefit from the double taxation relief as per Malta’s tax treaties, and in such case, they must provide proof of paying taxes outside Malta at a rate of at least 10% on such income, and therefore that would not have to pay the 10% income tax in Malta.

It’s important to note that individuals who already hold a Nomad Residence Permit shall not be subject to income tax on the income from ‘authorised work’ derived prior to 1^st January 2024.

For any questions about taxes in Malta, and tax compliance, please do not hesitate to contact us on [email protected].

Negli ultimi anni si è registrato un notevole aumento della popolazione globale di nomadi digitali, e si prevede che questa tendenza continuerà a crescere. Poiché la popolarità del nomadismo digitale continua ad aumentare senza alcun segno apparente di rallentamento, il nostro post sul blog di oggi offre informazioni complete per coloro che sono interessati a ottenere un permesso di soggiorno per nomadi per unirsi allo stile di vita nomade digitale a Malta.

Permesso di soggiorno per nomadi

In risposta al crescente interesse ad abbracciare lo stile di vita del nomade digitale, diversi paesi, come Malta, hanno implementato un programma di visto per nomadi digitali. L'arcipelago maltese è già una destinazione preferita per i nomadi digitali dell'Unione Europea e, con l'introduzione del Nomad Residence Permit, ha esteso la sua accoglienza anche a cittadini extracomunitari che normalmente avrebbero bisogno di documenti come un visto o permessi di soggiorno per vivere sull'isola.  

Come lavori

Per qualificarsi per questo permesso, i nomadi digitali sono tenuti a dimostrare l'esistenza di un contratto di lavoro a distanza con un'azienda estera, la gestione della propria attività o la fornitura di servizi freelance. I richiedenti devono inoltre fornire la prova di un reddito annuo lordo minimo di 32.400 €. (aggiornato a 42.000 € a partire dal 1° aprile 2024). I titolari che soddisfano i criteri di ammissibilità stabiliti da Residency Malta otterranno un permesso di soggiorno per nomadi di un anno, rinnovabile, e anche i familiari dei richiedenti saranno presi in considerazione.

Su Malta

Come isola mediterranea compatta, Malta offre un ambiente ideale per lo stile di vita nomade, caratterizzato da una cultura diversificata, un'eccellente connettività con Europa, Nord Africa e Medio Oriente, solidi servizi di consulenza aziendale, un'infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni ben sviluppata e altro ancora. Questi sono fattori chiave che facilitano e ispirano i nomadi digitali a stabilirsi nelle isole maltesi per le loro attività commerciali.

Se desideri trasferirti a Malta con il Nomad Residence Permit, ti unirai a una comunità globale già presente sull'isola. Per ulteriori informazioni e per richiedere assistenza nella domanda per il Nomad Residence Permit, contattaci al [email protected].
